2 shots for MUTS.

I am in... My third for the year...GMG,,,

As I was walking through the terminal on the return flight, a guy asked if I was coming back from the game. He had never heard of North Texas before. I took the opportunity to inform him of our great university, our size, our program, and our football history. He said he would be routing for us this year. While we didn't shock the world, but we shook the hell out of her for 35 minutes. I cannot tell you how proud I was as I walked to the car through a sea of wet bulldog red with my head held high. We lost, but gained respect, recognition, and almost a cool million... It was a good day considering a 24 pt loss. I am now booking my trip to New Orleans. I hope to make each remaining game with the exception of Hattiesburg, and even that is subject to change. It has been a long time since I have been this excited about Mean Green football, and I hope it is contagious. Go Mean Green!

Will there be any official-unofficial tailgate activities for UNT fans going on?

I am in.

Why is there an angry parrot on Coach Mac's cake?

Texarkana linebacker Anthony Rhone is coached by UNT great Cody Spencer.

Before the Fall semester started, I took my car up to the Goodyear on University Drive. As I waited for the courtesy shuttle, I struck Wup a conversation with an older gentleman. As the conversation steered towards football, He mentioned his grandson was Scotty. he said Scotty's choice was UNT, but McCarney was holding a scholarship for another quarterback. That was before Bergland had transferred.

If Manu-Mana means runt of the litter... what does just Manu mean?

I will be at Whitehouse HS recruiting on Friday and will ask around...

I believe Michagb & love north texas will both be in attendance. Those poor Kentucky boys will finally see what pretty girls with teeth look like! May cause a bit of a kerfuffle!

Wow!!! what is that??? 1200 Sq Feet? They pulled out all the stops!

We are meeting a group of Ragin Cajun's for a little combined revelry prior to the game... Anyone know what time the Victory lots will be opening for tailgaiting?

No... You are not really Tier I yet....

We need to get this in the Greenville St Paddy's Day Parade!

I would say the 2001 MTSU game. It was THE turning point which led to 4 SBC Championships. I will never forget rushing the field! Was it justified? Probably not, but what a great day!

NERDS!!!!!

Alsup's burritos & corndogs puts all those other "in"convenieince stores to shame.

In 2013, the A&M system will open the doors of a ABA-accreditted Law school in Fort Worth. A year later UNT will open an unaccreditted law school in Dallas. UNT Law will have to wait one additional year to apply for provisional ABA accredittation, and then another 3 before applying for full accredittation. While it doens't spell the end of UNT Law... in the current job market... I think you can do the math.

May 4, 2012 Dear UNT community, UNT’s been making headlines lately with good news from our athletics program. The latest is an announcement I’m proud to make — we are becoming members of Conference USA in the 2013 season. Moving our competitions to C-USA will be great for our fans because of the many natural, regional rivalries it will create. Having conference members in Texas and in nearby states makes this a logical move so that Mean Green fans can more readily attend games. We’ve been part of the Sun Belt Conference since 2000 and have experienced great success there, including 20 conference championships and four bowl games. We have enjoyed our time in the Sun Belt and look forward to our final season with the conference teams we’ve played for so long. We're also excited about this great opportunity, which will mean a higher level of competition for our teams, more national media exposure and better name-recognition for our university. Raising the level of competition will make our athletics program stronger. We will compete against many successful teams, which will help us raise our level of play. And competing with the other C-USA institutions better reflects the true academic quality of our university. This conference change comes at a time when UNT’s athletics program is on the rise. Since 2003, we have developed more than 12 new athletics facilities. After opening our world-class, first-of-its kind green Apogee Stadium last fall with a $20 million sponsorship, we hosted record crowds — breaking an all-time single-season attendance record with more than 113,000 fans — and had our best football season since 2004. I know it’s only going to get better. We’ve got an even stronger team going into this fall, and Coach McCarney is fired up to make this another winning season. We’ll continue to have great matchups as a member of C-USA. This is a great time to buy season tickets because football at UNT will be more exciting than ever. The Mean Green is your home team! There are great things happening in basketball, too. Tony Benford, the former men’s basketball associate head coach at Marquette University, joined us as the new head coach of men's basketball. We were sorry to lose Johnny Jones to his alma mater, Louisiana State University, but we wish him great success as its new head coach. We’ve also welcomed Mike Petersen, the former head coach of women’s basketball at Wake Forest University, as the new head coach of women's basketball. He replaces Karen Aston, who joined the University of Texas at Austin as head coach. We also wish her continued success. Both Tony and Mike bring plenty of experience and great track records to UNT, and they are taking over winning teams with a lot of talent. We expect a great basketball season this year. There are of plenty of other Mean Green milestones to celebrate. The Mean Green tennis team and the men’s golf team won 2011-12 Sun Belt Conference tournament championships, while our Mean Green soccer team won the regular season championship. Our student-athletes continue to excel academically, thanks to the dedication of our athletics staff members and others at the university in ensuring they get the benefits of a first-rate education. These advances are part of UNT’s overall momentum and reflect our ongoing commitment to uphold the three A’s: academics, the arts and athletics. We’re intent on being great across the board because providing a top-quality experience enriched by knowledge, culture, competition and community is what makes great universities stand out. Sincerely, V. Lane Rawlins President

Not what it once was, but it is still there. For the best sausage selection in the metroplex, German Deli is an import store in Grapevine. Siegi's Veal Weisswurst is incredible.

The students attempted FGs, the first TD reception at the new stadium was made by a girl, and a tubby guy ate turf attempting to field a punt. A good time was had by all... but the tubby guy.
